Speeches by Quigley.

“I beg to move, That leave be given to bring in a Bill to establish a requirement for persons providing certain public services to undertake training relating to eating disorders and disordered eating; to make provision about the delivery and content of such training; and for connected purposes. As many colleagues will …”

“I know that the Department is working hard with the Department for Transport to decarbonise shipping, but the current system works against businesses. One of our ferry companies is having to pay £12 million up front for a shoreside connection and then wait for up to seven years. Will the Minister commit to reviewing th…”

“Listening to the shadow Secretary of State, the hon. Member for Faversham and Mid Kent (Helen Whately), is quite something—one would think that the recipients of this benefit were spending the money on soft furnishings for their second homes. They are not; they are spending it on food, rent and clothing for their child…”

“13. What steps he is taking to support naval shipbuilding.”

“Wight Shipyard and Diverse Marine in my constituency do fantastic work and they thoroughly welcome the launch of the new dedicated unit to help ensure that small defence companies can access Ministry of Defence contracts. However, given the recent news that a £200 million contract has been awarded to the Dutch firm Dam…”

“It is a beyond fantastic pleasure to serve under your chairship, Ms Jardine. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Preston (Sir Mark Hendrick) for securing such an important and extremely timely debate. As we have seen over the past weeks, months and years, the exploitation of women and girls comes in many forms; the d…”

“I thank the Minister for his response. Many cancer patients receiving PIP and universal credit were alarmed by proposals put forward last summer suggesting that individuals undergoing active cancer treatment might be required to complete a work capability assessment before accessing those benefits. What assurances can …”

“I wish you a speedy recovery, Mr Speaker—as I understand it, the other fellow came off much worse. On the Isle of Wight, our NHS trust takes students who would otherwise have ended up NEET—not in education, employment or training—and puts them through a pre-apprenticeship scheme that gives them not only the skills but,…”

“2. If he will take steps to ensure that the Timms review of personal independence payment does not propose changes that would affect people undergoing cancer treatment.”

“I thank the Minister for his response. However, the UK’s Joint Committee on Human Rights has warned that without stronger action, we risk falling behind the EU and the US, and even becoming a dumping ground for goods produced with forced labour. Will the Government commit to introducing legislation that sends a clear a…”

“4. What steps she is taking with international partners to help tackle forced labour practices.”

“What a fantastic pleasure it is to serve under your chairship, Ms Lewell. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Sittingbourne and Sheppey (Kevin McKenna) for securing this important debate, and for his wider campaigning on this issue. Gambling is not harmless. For young people, whose minds are still developing and are …”

“I thank my hon. Friend for securing this debate and for the important work that he and Starlight have done so far on this issue. Does he agree that ensuring there is effective play within children’s healthcare not only helps create happier, calmer patients but delivers real benefits for the NHS by enabling quicker, smo…”

“I think the Chair may well be doing that. In terms of that frustration, do ,you think the Cabinet Office aids your work or is at best a mild handbrake?”

“I sense a little bit of polite and mild frustration at the Cabinet Office having not yet signed off on your diversity data. Why do you think a Minister needs to sign off on that? Surely it is not contentious.”

“Just around areas in terms of diversity.”

“You mentioned diversity, and the current report is not out, so I will not re-ask you all the questions around that. Touching on where you mentioned those with disabilities, what measures need to be taken to improve appointments?”

“On the governance code and its revision, you have outlined what you were pleased to see. Is there anything you were disappointed that was not included?”

“Yes. Would you expect further roles and posts to be removed before the end of your term?”

“In the case of the specified employee posts removed from your remit that you have just mentioned, who does the oversight of those appointments now fall to, and does it concern you, or are you quite pleased that they are no longer part of—”
